1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)

1 David fleeth to God upon his former experience. 4 He voweth perpetual service unto him, because of his promises.

61:1 ¶ [[To the chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David.]] Hear, O God, my cry; attend unto my prayer.

61:2 From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for me.

61:3 For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy.

61:4 I will sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

61:5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given [me] the inheritance of those that fear thy name.

61:6 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations.

61:7 He shall abide before God for ever: bestow loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

61:8 So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.
